20、9 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Sta
21、ndards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO an
22、d IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee
23、 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the po
24、ssibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 15419 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 31, Automa

26、ition of patterns encoded in bars and spaces of defined dimensions according to rules defining the translation of characters into such patterns, known as the symbology specification. Bar code digital imaging systems must be capable of reliably converting the information to be encoded into a bar code
27、 symbol meeting the symbology specification and application requirements if the technology is to fulfil its basic objective. Such systems comprise two major components, namely the hardware device which produces the physical image of the bar code symbol on paper, photographic film, printing plate, or
28、 other substrate, and the associated software which converts the input data into digital instructions used to drive the hardware device. Each component can take many forms and perform differing functions. Manufacturers of bar code equipment, the producers of bar code symbols and the users of bar cod
29、e technology therefore require publicly available standard test specifications for bar code digital imaging systems to ensure the accuracy and consistency of performance of these systems. This International Standard is intended to lay down general principles governing the bar code image generation f
30、unction in each component, supplemented by more specific details applicable to certain major categories of software and hardware.BS EN ISO/IEC 15419:2010BS EN ISO/IEC 15419:2010INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 15419:2009(E) ISO/IEC 2009 All rights reserved 1Information technology Automatic identificat

32、ecifies minimum requirements for those attributes. It defines test methods for assessing the conformance of those attributes with this International Standard. It is intended to be used in conjunction with International Standards which detail the methodology for assessing the quality of a bar code sy

This International Standard does not apply to Bar Code Masters, which are covered by ISO/IEC 15421. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The tests performed u
47、nder the reported conditions will typically be performed in a controlled setting. Ongoing verification of symbols produced in an operational setting should be performed using the methodology contained in ISO/IEC 15416. In addition, visual checks should be performed to confirm the correct formatting
48、of the symbol in accordance with the symbology and other applicable specifications. Further guidance on equipment maintenance and supplies is found in Annex C. 4.1.1 Data input The human-readable text and symbol characters for all symbols should, wherever possible, be generated from the same key ent

The input process should also allow for the input of relevant symbol parameters such as target X dimension or magnification factor, wide:narrow ratio, and bar height, where these are user-definable according to the symbology specification; such input shall be subject to the capabilities of the imaging or printing system, in particular the adjustment of target element dimensions as described in the subcl
